Capt. John Howard, commanding officer of the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1), gives a speech during a chief pinning ceremony aboard the Wasp while underway in the Pacific Ocean, Sept. 16, 2018. The chief pinning ceremony is a naval tradition in which chief selectees perform a series of tasks and tests as part of achieving the title of Chief Petty Officer. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible force ready to perform a wide-range of military operations in the Indo-Pacific region.
